an attack issued by mr mccarthy on mr harrison and his platform was pro nounced by the former mayor a tissue of falsehoods plot is soon uncovered on this matter mr harrison said xh hotel la salle coterie must be getting desperate indeed when they send repre sentatives of newspapers opposing me to endeavor to get me to make statements that would be clearly absurd m view of the fact that i am a candidate for the democratic nomination for mayor the representatives of these papers twisted and distorted what i said to them when they asked me whether i would bs an independent candidate m the event of my defeat at the primary on february 28 ' i told them that i did not expect defeat but on the contrary that i expected to win and that it would be time enougli to discuss my future course if i am beaten by the corrupt use of 500,000 or so the assertion m mr mccarthy's state ment that i have not supported democrats or democratic platforms is absolutely false i have always supported demo crats since i was able to vote including 1896 and m all subsequent years this is more than mccarthy sullivan or gra ham can say the assertion of mccarthy that i did not support judge dunne for mayor i unqualifiedly false i was m Chicago when mayor dunne was a candidate m 1905 i voted for mayor dunne and it was not until the middle of april that i went to california to bring home my wife and sick boy so much for mccarthy's statement that i deserted judge dunne " the planks dealing with the price of gta and calling for municipal ownership of public utilities as the best cure for graft and

to-night of heart failure she was sixty-five years old carter h harrison stands for a greater Chicago following is the full text of the platform of carter it harrison in presenting my name as a candidate for the mayoralty i appreciate that it is my duty to furnish the democratic voters with a brief outline of my views on the important municipal questions of the day to enable them to decide whether my views represent theirs on ttiese absorbing subjects the general good demands public ownership of public utilities at the earliest possible moment pending their acquirement by the municipality public service corporations must be made to render the best possible service at the lowest rates commensurate with the paying of a fair return on the actual money invested in the early days when public utilities such as the traction the telephone the electric light and the gas companies were still m an experimental stage be cause of the risk run a higher rate of interest on the investment was to be expected than would be fair to the consumer to-day when with good management returns are as certain as is the interest on the national debt in the immediate future the rates at which gas is to be sold and telephone service to be furnished to the community are to be fixed for the next five years by the city council the bill granting municipali ties the authority to regulate the price at which gas shall be sold to the consumer passed by the legislature m 1905 originated with me and was introduced m the legislature at my request i feel to-day as i did at that time that gas can be sold at a greatly reduced figure over the present rates and the company still pay an adequate return to its stockholders people demand 70-cent gas seventy-cent gas is the demand of an overwhelming majority of our citizens a recent criticism of this demand m advance of any ex pert investigation may be answered by the assertion that m all fairness it is equairy as just as the demand voiced m the same breath for elec trification of the steam railroads and through routing on all traction lines each of these demands if granted will of necessity temporarily affect the returns on the securities involved i fail to see any reason why the demand for one of these reforms should be acceded to as fair and just without a preliminary investigation as to how the securities involved will be affected while the demand for the other should be dismissed as not the proper subject for executive discussion as be longing properly to the legislative branch of government personally i have no connections which would be compromised by my attitude on these questions i believe gas can be sold to the at a 70-cent rate and still leave a fair profit for the holders of gas securities the company always has redress m the courts if the figure fixed by the city council is unjust the community might derive a positive benefit were the company to be forced to take the entire carter h harrison _-...

harrison to carry out his promtea that no graft rings would hold sway fti 'â– the city hall m case of his election soeius unbounded in a desperate effort to turn the effe.'t of the blow given to them in the platform chairman john mccarthy of the sullivan graham managing committee at tka hotel la salle attempted to make it -. pear that mr harrison had reed himser out of the democratic party by the uttr arices m his platform . mr harrison promptly repudiated this inference he 1 defied the sulhrac-hopkin mccarthy coterie to proceed with any plans they may have to read him out of the democracy . an attack issued by mr mccarthy on mr harrison and his platform was pro nounced by the former mayor a tissue of falsehoods plot is soon uncovered on this matter mr harrison said xh hotel la salle coterie must be getting desperate indeed when they send repre sentatives of newspapers opposing me to endeavor to get me to make statements that would be clearly absurd m view of the fact that i am a candidate for the democratic nomination for mayor the representatives of these papers twisted and distorted what i said to them when they asked me whether i would bs an independent candidate m the event of my defeat at the primary on february 28 ' i told them that i did not expect defeat but on the contrary that i expected to win and that it would be time enougli to discuss my future course if i am beaten by the corrupt use of 500,000 or so the assertion m mr mccarthy's state ment that i have not supported democrats or democratic platforms is absolutely false i have always supported demo crats since i was able to vote including 1896 and m all subsequent years this is more than mccarthy sullivan or gra ham can say the assertion of mccarthy that i did not support judge dunne for mayor i unqualifiedly false i was m Chicago when mayor dunne was a candidate m 1905 i voted for mayor dunne and it was not until the middle of april that i went to california to bring home my wife and sick boy so much for mccarthy's statement that i deserted judge dunne " the planks dealing with the price of gta and calling for municipal ownership of public utilities as the best cure for graft and inefficiency at the city hall were deemeed notable contributions to the dis cussion of these issues photograph by moffett leading citizens praise mr harrison's platform following are some of the ex

northbound track there was a big blockade of south side and met ropolitan trains on the loop and thousands of passengers were jammed on the station platforms despite the fact that ticket sellers knew of the wteek they continued to sell and take tickets without a word of explanation there was nothing for the belated pas sengers to do pending the lifting of the blockade save to relieve their feelings and tell each other what they thought of the south side l service this they did with much enthusiasm again at 9 o'clock last night the loop was tied up when the shoe of a north western train became misplaced at wabash avenue and van buren street the second blockade lasted only ten minutes the state provides laws insuring better treatment of cattle than is accorded the people of my

to-night of heart failure she was sixty-five years old carter h harrison stands for a greater Chicago following is the full text of the platform of carter it harrison in presenting my name as a candidate for the mayoralty i appreciate that it is my duty to furnish the democratic voters with a brief outline of my views on the important municipal questions of the day to enable them to decide whether my views represent theirs on ttiese absorbing subjects the general good demands public ownership of public utilities at the earliest possible moment pending their acquirement by the municipality public service corporations must be made to render the best possible service at the lowest rates commensurate with the paying of a fair return on the actual money invested in the early days when public utilities such as the traction the telephone the electric light and the gas companies were still m an experimental stage be cause of the risk run a higher rate of interest on the investment was to be expected than would be fair to the consumer to-day when with good management returns are as certain as is the interest on the national debt in the immediate future the rates at which gas is to be sold and telephone service to be furnished to the community are to be fixed for the next five years by the city council the bill granting municipali ties the authority to regulate the price at which gas shall be sold to the consumer passed by the legislature m 1905 originated with me and was introduced m the legislature at my request i feel to-day as i did at that time that gas can be sold at a greatly reduced figure over the present rates and the company still pay an adequate return to its stockholders people demand 70-cent gas seventy-cent gas is the demand of an overwhelming majority of our citizens a recent criticism of this demand m advance of any ex pert investigation may be answered by the assertion that m all fairness it is equairy as just as the demand voiced m the same breath for elec trification of the steam railroads and through routing on all traction lines each of these demands if granted will of necessity temporarily affect the returns on the securities involved i fail to see any reason why the demand for one of these reforms should be acceded to as fair and just without a preliminary investigation as to how the securities involved will be affected while the demand for the other should be dismissed as not the proper subject for executive discussion as be longing properly to the legislative branch of government personally i have no connections which would be compromised by my attitude on these questions i believe gas can be sold to the at a 70-cent rate and still leave a fair profit for the holders of gas securities the company always has redress m the courts if the figure fixed by the city council is unjust the community might derive a positive benefit were the company to be forced to take the entire carter h harrison _-...
